Abstract

In this paper we consider the orthogonal polynomials with weights $w_\alpha(x)= x^\alpha \exp(-x^3+tx)$ and $W_\alpha(x)=|x|^{2\alpha+1} \exp(-x^6+tx^2)$. Using the compatibility conditions for the ladder operators for these orthogonal polynomials, we derive several difference equations satisfied by the recurrence coefficients of these orthogonal polynomials. We also derive differential-difference equations and second order linear ordinary differential equations satisfied by these orthogonal polynomials.
